Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion

Thousands of people protested against the visit of George W. Bush in the streets of Rome yesterday, expressing widespread opposition to Bush’s foreign policy among citizens of Italy.

Some protesters lit smoke bombs and threw bottles. Police tried to control the protesters by firing tear gas at them.

“Bush Out!” the protesters in Rome demanded, expressing opposition to the continued American military occupation of Iraq. Bush responded by asking whether Italians had thought enough about national independence for Kosovo.

In touch with the pulse of the planet as usual, that Mr. Bush.

On the other hand, it’s a pity that a few protesters ruined the event for the rest. The Guardian is even reporting that one or two protesters broke flower pots.

What were they thinking? Damn flower pot! I’ll teach you to support the ocupation of Iraq!
